Chapter 209 The Deaths of the Four Elders

After Ye Li made her decision, Xie Sixing did not try to persuade her. He just gave her a meaningful look and then tossed the two mirrors into the air.

As it fell, the mirrors began to rotate around Ye Li, one on the left and one on the right.

It was moving faster and faster, making a buzzing sound, and everything around it was vibrating.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the surroundings became quiet, and in an instant, a flood of memories poured into Ye Li's mind.

...

Li Yuehua was an orphan abandoned at the foot of Tianmen Sect Mountain.

Elder Qin of the Qingmu Sect happened to be out and about when he saw the baby's pale face and weak, feeble cries. Moved by compassion, he took her in and raised her.

It was this decision that Elder Qin would later regret so much that he would slap his thigh in remorse whenever he thought about it.

Li Yuehua was exceptionally mischievous from a young age, climbing trees to steal magical bird eggs and catching spirit fish in the sea.

Elder Qin was originally a very good-tempered middle-aged man, but ever since he took Li Yuehua in, his angry roars have echoed throughout the sect every day.

Not only Elder Qin, but Li Yuehua also frequently made the other elders furious during class.

Just like the dignified female elder of the Golden Cloud Sect, whose magic weapon was originally an extremely beautiful golden staff, which was directly changed into a spiked club by Li Yuehua.

Enraged, the female elder chased Li Yuehua across three mountains with a spiked club in hand.

Not only that, Li Yuehua also enjoyed teasing her fellow disciples, especially Yun Qingyu, who followed Sect Leader Ouyang.

Because Yun Qingyu was the sect leader's closed-door disciple, he was prematurely aged.

As a role model for his disciples, he would often follow behind her with a stern face, telling her that disciples should not be unruly and should behave in this and that way.

Li Yuehua teased him, "You follow me around every day, do you like me? If you like me, just say so, why do you have to beat around the bush like this?"

This made Yun Qingyu blush deeply, and she left as if fleeing after saying "Nonsense."

Because they were peers and among the best, the two often attended classes together.

Back then, Yun Qingyu wasn't as calm and collected as she is now; she was often made both ashamed and indignant by Li Yuehua.

Two people with completely different personalities gradually developed a friendship and feelings for each other.

However, Yun Qingyu was different from the carefree Li Yuehua. He spent most of his time by the side of Sect Master Ouyang, listening to his teachings and meditating at the spiritual spring.

Often, just as he enters a meditative state, he is hit on the head by small stones or twigs that appear out of nowhere.

She could see Li Yuehua leaning against the wall and waving at her as soon as she turned her head.

Of course, someone like Li Yuehua wouldn't stay cooped up in the sect every day.

Every other month, I would have to go down the mountain.

Unlike other cultivators who shun the mortal world, Li Yuehua loves to immerse herself in worldly affairs, visiting brothels and casinos everywhere.

It was because of this that she met Chu Wei.

At that time, Chu Wei was so thin from all the torment he had suffered that he looked like a little chick, but his eyes were sharper and brighter than those of an eagle.

She took Chu Wei back to the inn to wash up and then brought him back to the Tianmen Sect.

After Chu Wei came along, the happiest person was Elder Qin, Li Yuehua's master. He thought that Li Yuehua was now a role model for teachers and could finally be more serious.

The result, however, greatly disappointed him.

Not only did Li Yuehua not suppress her true nature, she also directed Chu Wei to steal his wine collection to drink.

Even the flowers, plants, birds, and fish in his backyard could not escape the clutches of the master and apprentice.

Elder Qin earnestly advised Chu Wei, his grand-disciple, not to learn from Li Yuehua's improper ways and not to fool around with her.

Chu Wei always listened very attentively, but whenever Li Yuehua asked him to do something, no matter how absurd the order was, he would do it.

The days of cultivation are always monotonous, like a single day for a hundred years.

Li Yuehua did not mature with age; on the contrary, Yun Qingyu became more and more like Sect Leader Ouyang, often representing the sect leader to visit various places and handle some thorny issues.

For example, the case of the missing disciples of the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm.

Upon learning of the remnants of the Wuqi Clan appearing in the Golden Sand Illusionary Realm, Sect Master Ouyang summoned all the sect leaders.

At that time, Li Yuehua's abilities were so outstanding that no one could teach her anymore, so Sect Master Ouyang set up a separate inner sect for her, the Lotus Sect.

However, at that time, besides her, Chu Wei was the only disciple in the Lotus Sect.

Regardless of how many disciples there are, she is still a sect leader, so Li Yuehua also participated in this discussion.

Li Yuehua was already bored inside the gate, and when she heard that something was going on in the Golden Sand Illusionary Realm, she immediately volunteered to join several elders on the journey.

Before departure.

Li Yuehua warmly invited Elder Qin to come along, but Elder Qin glanced at her and ran off as fast as he could.

Li Yuehua muttered, "What happened to the master-disciple relationship?"

He turned to Chu Wei and said, "Hehehe, luckily I still have you, little Weiwei. You control the wooden bird, I'm going to take a nap."

Chu Wei was not surprised at all and began to work diligently without complaint.

The wooden bird was made by Li Yuehua herself, incorporating many of her creative ideas.

So she was the first to arrive at the Golden Sands Fantasy Realm.

She dragged Chu Wei to brothels and drank with prostitutes, getting him so drunk he couldn't get up, and he was still drunk even when the other elders arrived.

When Elder Qin came over and took Chu Wei's pulse, he cursed and said that Chu Wei's wine had been spiked, and that he wouldn't wake up for at least four or five days.

Li Yuehua felt proud rather than ashamed, saying, "He's had such a long and tiring journey, it's good for him to rest."

"You know how hard he works, yet you're still so unreliable! Taking your apprentice out to brothels, are you...?"

"Oh dear, Master, I'm now a sect leader, on par with you. You should at least give me some face."

Looking at her rascally demeanor, Elder Qin regretted for the ten thousandth and first time why he had ever picked up such a troublemaker.

However, it was too late to regret it now. After discussing it, they decided to leave two disciples at the inn to take care of Chu Wei, while the rest would rush to the Mirage Zone of the Sand Sea to meet up with Yun Qingyu that very night.

Mirage in the desert

When they arrived, Yun Qingyu was leading his disciples in arranging the search plan for the next day. Seeing that Li Yuehua had also arrived, he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, please disperse for now."

Li Yuehua jumped onto his back like a monkey, "Surprised?!"

Yun Qingyu's ears turned slightly red. "With all the elders here, what kind of behavior is this? Get down here."

Elder Qin was numb and ignored Li Yuehua, speaking only to Yun Qingyu, "What have you discovered these past few days?"

"I discovered an entrance beneath the magma, which seems to lead to some place. However, all the disciples on this trip are below the Foundation Establishment stage, so we dare not go in rashly."

"Entrance……"

Elder Qin speculated, "Could it be a path to the Wuqi Clan?"

Elder of the Green Wood Sect: "Isn't the entrance to the Wuqi Clan in the Mist Camphor Forest?"

"The Wuqi Clan is the most cunning, and they may even have multiple burrows. Otherwise, why would Qingyu have found the Shadow Token down there?"

Li Yuehua jumped down, "Instead of saying so much, let's just go and see for ourselves."

Seeing her recklessness, Yun Qingyu immediately stopped her, "I have already set up a formation around here these days, let's go together tomorrow."

...

Everything was normal that night. Li Yuehua and Yun Qingyu hadn't seen each other for a long time and were going to have a chat, but Yun Qingyu had things to prepare for the next day and told her not to wander off before leaving.

She wouldn't be Li Yuehua if she didn't wander around.

She wandered around alone.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me.

Li Yuehua turned around and saw a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask hiding in the darkness.

Faced with this strangely dressed uninvited guest, Li Yuehua was not surprised. Instead, she waved her hand in a friendly manner and said, "Fellow Daoist, can't you sleep either?"

"You don't remember me."

Li Yuehua was a little puzzled, "Before? Did we know each other before?"

The other person's voice was hoarse and deep, "Of course, you are..."
